In my last post I showed how I constructed the connecting rods, they looked a shade too heavy so I slimmed them down a bit. Next came the tricky bit, how to secure them on the crank pins. I sought advice on the questions page and have received some very sound advice, thanks to all who contributed.
Here's a picture of the rods on one side set up with oiled cigarette papers in place ready for the 'quick dab' with the new Antex 25 watt iron.
Once the soldering was sucessfully completed I assembled the chassis and painted and lacquered body and took some photos, here they are

That brings this particular project to an end, I wonder what I'm going to do now?
cheers for now
